The executive committee of the "Kversi
body Olves" campaign for the Y. M. C.
A. building fund hold a session last even
3ng at headquarters nnd went over the
(ground thoroughly. Reports brought in at
this meeting showed that the 1(1" solicitors
Bore keeping up the pace set. despite dis
couragements, some poor territory . and
nher disadvantages that were foreseen,
lint that worried a little., just the same-.
The. net result of the first two days of
the popular subscription campaign, how
ever, wag most encouraging, and though
the committee realized that four days'
ard work remained, the members sep
arated last evening convinced that the
nd of the week would also be the end
of this campaign that started six months
o and that will secure from the people
'of Portland M&0.000 for the Y. M. and
X. W. C. A. homo.
A lot of amusing incidents occurred yes
terday in connection with the' campaign
when the committees tackled the North
lend and solicited pawnbrokers. Chinese
nd the keepers of the street shops,
.where English is an unknown quantity
and where the cheekiest book agent In
Hown would never think of venturing.
Fat. florid men. who had never spent
cent needlessly in all their lives, actual.
y were surprised into letting so of real
money, and the Chinese. though not Just
urn in every instance of what It was
all about, did their share.
Yesterday's campaign was emphatically
H poor man's donation and the bin total
of more than J10.0W represented probably
more of sacrifice than any other popular
subscription the cily has ever known.
One Gives Mining stock.
There were aome interesting subscrip
tions among those reported at noon yes
terday. The firemen of Chemical No. 1
pave JI10 to committee No. 3. One man
jtavn his last cent, which happened to be
the only cent ho had. and MO shares of
Lucky Boy mining stock was another
contribution.
"We will take milk, butter, eggs, pota
toes, mining stock or hardware." an
nounced Secretary Stone at noon, and
some ciueer donations are expected.
At the meeting: of the executive com
mittee last evening the men who are
guiding and most closely watching the
campaign were of the opinion that the
next 48 hours would tell the story. If
the subscriptions come In as they have
been doing, the success of the entire
project Is assured, if not, a stern reality
will face the committee.
"Wo have to complete that J.Tf.O.000 tills
week or give It up." is the way 'Walter
Goss has sized it up.
The executive committee espccially
urges that all pledge cards sent out ask
ing former givers to Increase their sub
scriptions be returned at once. Many of
these have been sent In any most en
rouraglng reports are being made of this
feature ol the work.
Another lot of pledge cards that the
committee would like to get In are the
cards secured by the school teachers.
Home of these have been sent back, but
there are hundreds still out. many of
which are good for considerable amounts
and the committee wants them all and
wants them now. "Send them by mes
senger, mail- or small brother, but get
them In." is the edict, of the committee.
T. 11. Wilcox Doubles tiirt.
The largest single subscription reported
yesterday was that of T. B. Wilcox, who
increased his former subscription of $f000
to $10,000. The committee liopea to be
ble to announce several more of this
sort, but there is no pledge yet made
positively on which to base these hopes,
tor all the subscriptions are being given
out as received now, and there is nothing
held in reserve during this last week.
Tli 100 solicitors are still working In
the territory" between the river and
Seventh street and from Yamhill to Burn
side. Probably this territory' w-ill take
another day to complete, for many of the
blocks are being visited several times by
the committeemen, who wish personally
to visit every man.

NEEDED TO KEEP PEACE
Colonel IleiMand Says Arbitration
Would Xot Abolish Armies.
tTU'.MHIA, S. C. March 28. "1 deem
II proper and opportune on this occasion
to warn our people that If they would
enjoy peace and its blessings without
humiliation, they must constantly Impress
the world with the fact that the United
States is In a position to resist aggres.
sien and to enforce Its just demands."
The above statement was made by
Colonel H. O. S. Heistand. Adjutant-General
of the L'nited states Army, in a
speech on the "Adjutant-General's De
partment as a Factor In Military Train
ing and Its Value to the Nation." before
the Interstate National Guard Association
here tonight.
llonel Heistand called attention to the
necessity for military training and urged
that the people Insist that their Repre
sentatives in Congress shall provide am
ple force at all times, on land and on
water, to meet any Impending danger to
our country 'or to Its Institutions."
He said that there are those who com.
bat the idea that soldiers constitute a
safeguard to civilization and who profess
to we In them only a relic of barbarism,
yot vractic.il persons see In efficient and
ver-rcady armed -force the chief instru
ment by which civilization was fashioned
and a .sure guarantee of peace.
- The speaker- declared- that he -was not
opposed to ' arbitration as one of the
great agencies of the promotion of peace.
"But." he said, "history reminds us that
treaties are- as easily broken, as they are
made and, even If the hopes of the most
advanced advocates, of universal arbitra
tion were realized by the entry of all the
great governments in the world into a
treaty to that end. soldiers would be an'
essential feature of such a desideratum."
In conclusion Colonel Heistand said
that he would be glad to see as a require
ment for any position in the classified
civil service an honorable discharge from
the Army or Navy or from the organized
militia of-a state or territory.
UNITED CLUBS IN SESSION
Discuss Schemes for Betterment of
Kast Side Condition. .
The t'nite.1 East Side Push Club, AV. U
Boise presiding, held Us lirst regular
meeting last night, and derided to investi
gate i he matter of the purchasing and
oteratin a. rock crusher by the city.
Tills action was taken : for the reason
there is a shortage of rock for improve
ment of streets. A committee of live
was appointed to investigate the matter
and report at the next meeting of the
federation.
Attention was palled to the technical
examinations required of candidates for
entrance to the Klre Department. It 'was
the opinion of most of the-representatives
present that part of this examination
should be eliminated entirely,-as it tended
to exclude from the tire service pood men,
who could not answer the technical ques
tions required by the civil service ex
amination. The result has been that there
is a shortage of men for the Fire De
partment. Joseph Buchtel and T. J. Nol
tra were appointed a special committee
to take the matter up with the Kxecutive
Board with the view of. cutting out the
technical portion of the examinations.
Tiie executive committee, comprising; the
officers and H. Calef and Dr. DeVeny,
was instructed to ask the streetcar com
pany to take steps to relieve the con
gestion of the East Side cars. It was the
sense of the meeting that the congestion
could be relieved by running "trippers."
Twelve clubs wore represented by dele
gates at this meeting.
CITY MUST BUILD HALL
St. Johns Council Takes Over In
complete Building.
The City of St. Johns will have to com
plete its ctly hall. At the meeting of the
Council last night City Engineer tJood
rich sent in a communication stating that
Yotingferdorf & Son, contractors, had
failed to complete the building, and fur
thermore, were not in position to go on
with the work. He further announced
that he had assumed charge of the build
ing. The City Attorney, Engineer and build
ing committee were instructed to wait
on the Fidelity Bonding Company, surety
for the delinquent contractors, and secure
a written waiver to all irregularities in
connection with the city hall, so the
city may proceed with the work. The
company has signified its willingness to
give this waiver so as to clear the way
for the completion of the structure.
J. E. Brink presented' a petition for a
license to conduct a saloon in St. Johns,
nnd it was granted.

PREY TO AMBITION
Desire to See Play Produced
Costs Mrs. Ordway Dearly.
TELLS STORY IN COURT
Says She Made Xo Contract Vith
Mrs. Ada Dow Currier; but
Gave Her Much Money
Out of Charity.
Mrs. June McMillen Ordway -took - the
stand in Justice Reid's court yesterday
afternoon and made a full, candid and
straightforward statement of her side of
the- case. In which she is sued,, for J2
by Mrs. Ada Dow Currier for salary al
leged to be due for putting on the play
'Oregon. She was still detailing her
business relations with the plaintiff when
court adjourned .-until 9:30 o'clock this
morning. , . .
There was a great deal of the comic
in the proceedings, until Mrs. Ordway
took the stand, at which time there was
a sudden change and the dramatic held
sway. From a humorous criticism of
the scenery and lines of the play by
Arthur Mackleyt stage manager ot the
Baker Theater, to a pathetic narrative
of financial losses and wounded feeiings
by Mrs. Ordway, the trial proceeded,
developing evidence bordering on th
sensational.
Mrs. Ordway testified that she had
never had any contract with Mrs. Dow
Currier, but had given her sums ranging
from $5 and $10 to ?3i out of pure sym
pathy, because Mrs. Currier was a refu
gee from the great San Francisco dis
aster and frequently pleaded poverty and
distress, appealing to the generous' nature
of' Mrs. Ordway. . The latter never de-:
nied requests for aid, according to . hor
sworn statement.
. Mrs. Ordway said she paid Mrs. Currier
a total" of $240.50, and declared that the
50 cents was literally taken from her
by force. It was used, she said, to buy
liquor for a male friend of Mrs. Currier's.
Mrs. Ordway said it cut her to the quick
to receive such treatment from the hands
of one she had assltsted many times.
How She Met Plaintiff.
Mrs. Ordway swore that she first met
Mrs. Currier at the home of William
Grabach, who introduced them at a time
when Mrs. Grabach was in bed with a
broken leg and had invited Mrs. Ordway
to visit her. With a bouquet of (lowers
for the sick woman, Mrs. Ordway hur
ried to the Grabach home, she said, and
there met Mrs. Currier, who had come
from San Francisco and who later an
nounced herself as a dramatist and per
suaded Mrs. Ordway to allow her to
dramatize "Oregon" and give it a pro
duction. "T was ambitious' said Mrs. Ordway,
"and wanted my play produced in my
home city. I was willing to stand a
good deal of expense to have my hopes
realized, and it was because of this that
I gave so liberally toward scenery, cos
tumes and other things, including Mrs.
Currier's support.
At first, Mrs. Ordway said, Mrs. Cur
rier was kind and courteous in her man
ner, but later, when she felt more cer
tain she had Mrs. Ordway financially in
terested to the extent that she would
not "back out," became a despot. Mrs.
Ordway asserted that Mrs. Ctirrier even
said at one time. "I know how to put
people out of the way without anyone
learning who did it,' and at another
time. "I have got it in my power to
make or break you, and you had better
do as I tell you.'
'I had ventured considerable money,"
said Mrs. Ordway, and I bowed to Mrs.
Currier's will because I thought she could
'make or break me. She practically
lived at my house and for a while I
hardly had anything to say about my
own affairs."
It is the contention of the defense that
Mrs. Currier was imported to Portland
for the express purpose of "working the
angel," as Mrs. Ordway has been called
because she gave up so much money to
get her play produced. The Grabachs
painted the scenery, which cost $H00, and
assisted in the alleged extravagant pur
chase of costumes.
Got Back Only $2 4 6.
The expense of the entire production
to Mrs. Ordway to date has been $2903.03,
according to her testimony, and she re
ceived from Manager George L.. Baker
as her share of the receipts $246, leaving
her more than $2100 loser. There may
be bills still outstanding, she said.
Arthur Mackley, stage manager at the
Baker, an actor of 24 years' experience,
who took the part of Scarface, the Cay
use chief, in "Oregon," gave expert testi
MRS. ADA DOW CURRIER,
mony as to the lines of the play and the
construction of ' the . scenery. He criticised-
the scenery, saying it. was- very
poorly constructed. It ' was so bad, he
said, that when the ' stage hands set
up the trees tle limbs had to be nailed
on. He pointed out. too, that the cliff
from which the white fawn leaped in
the St. Peter's ' dome scene had to be
held down by two men or it would have
tipped over.
He declared that the construction of
the play was inconsistent, in that, for
one thing, the Indians wore trousers.
Hethought this -wrong for Indians' of
1833. and he also thought the fence, used
In one scene should not have been con
structed, on 1907 lines and from choice
finished lumber. He said the play had
to be "worked over' in many places to
get it into shape for - the production,
and declared that the dramatization was
very, poor indeed.
J. H. Bradley, stage carpenter at the
L-yric. took the stand for the plaintiff
and testified that he "built the scenery
and that it was of the best workman
ship and material.
COBTY LOAN FDR SISTERS
MIST PAY $20,000 ON AGREE
MENT FOK 97000.
St. Joseph's Hospital Case at Aber
deen Ended After Long
Litigation.'
ABERDEEN', Wash., March 26.
(Special.) By denying the application
for a writ of certiorari, the United
States Supreme Court has settled the
long-standing suit, of the Sisters of
Dominicuna of this city, whb conduct
St. Josephs Hospital, against the St.
Paul Loun and Building Association.
The sisters will pay about 52J.OOO
altogether in settlement of a loan of
$7000 and interest made prior to 1901.
In 1901 the sisters obtained a loan
of $7000 to help build St. Joseph's Hos
pital a'nd.gavo a mortgage to the loan
association. I'nder an agreement not
specifically, ' understood, the sisters
made themselves liable for J7001 addi
tional in the way of stock. After they
hntl patd the principal and interest,
amounting at the time to $12,000, a
demand was made for the additional
sum, which ' was refused, and suit
brought by the sisters for the can
cellation of the note and mortgage.
The loan company had the case
transferred from the Superior. Court
of this county to the Federal Court at
Tacoma. Judge Hanford presiding.
Judge Hanford decided that the obli
gation had bren settled and gave a
decision for the sisters. The loan com
pany appealed to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, which de
cided by a close vote in favor of the
loan company und sent the case back
to Judge Hanford, who reversed his
ruling and- gave a judgment against
the sisters. The sisters then appealed
to the United States Supreme Court
for the writ, -which was refused, thus
ending the litigation.
The result ot the contest is that the
sisters will pay about 520.000 on a
supposed agreement of $7000 and in
terest at 6 per cent for the time speci
fied in the contract.

Finding Dead Bodies at Yakima Re
call Murder Theory. ,
NORTH YAKIMA, AVash., March 26.
The two bodies found in a gulch at Se
lah, seven miles north of here, on March
8. were today identlfcd as those of Wal
ter Youngkin and a woman who lived
with him as his wife.
The authorities here figure out the case
as follows: The couple was murdered in

Authorities will try to locate "The
Swede" and bring him. back.

PLANS PURE FOOD SHOW
MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION' DIS
CUSSES PROJECT.
Will Probably Be Held Next Septem
ler Mutual Eire Insurance Com
pany Scheme Making Headway.
The Portland Retail Merchants' As
sociation will hold a pure-food show
so'me time in September, either in the
Armory or In one of the "Lewis and
Clark Fair buildings. The show will
last one or two weeks and will be an
interesting series of demonstrations of
foods, similar to shows of this kind
given in the Eastern cities.
Vaudeville, music and other features
will be Introduced to enliven the show.
Cooking lectures will be a prominent
feature, and foodstuffs, the purity of
which is known, will be displayed.
Plans are already under way for the
show, and only, details remain to be
arranged. At. the meeting of the gro
cers last night the show was discused
and much enthusiasm was shown
among the merchants. . ,
Secretary Merrick is qtiletly work
ing on the general scheme for the pure
food exhibit, and will have an inter
esting report to make at a later date.
He promises to introduce some unique
features jthat will add to the interest
the general public will take In the af
fair. The formation of a mutual - fire in
surance company among the members
of the state retail merchants' organiza
tion took' definite shape at last night's
meeting, when 25 names were secured
by the secretary to be added to a sim
ilar number of up-state merchants
who will be. the incorporators of the
company. The plan is to start In a
modest way. allowing only $1000 insur
ance on any store at the beginning,
and later increasing the amount of the
liabilities as the organization grows.
Members -were heartily in favor of the
plan last night, and the number of
names desired as incorporators was
signed up without any difficulty.
The plan was decided upon at the
state convention of grocers, which was
held here during the Winter, and the
executive board was authorized tp go
ahead and develop the plans for the

company. Within a short time it is
expected retail merchants of the state
will be taking out insurance in their
own company and making a large sav
ing. A number of new members was tak
en in last night, and Hermann Witten
berg spoke to the association on the
benefits of the wholesaler, manufactur
er and retailer standing together to
maintain prices. Other representatives
of manufacturers and jobbers spoke
along the same line. Price-cutting was
the particular evil attacked, and the
different interests will co-operate to
put a stop to it.
PLANNING T0 RETALIATE
Transcontinental Officers May De
cide to Give Poorer Service.
A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas
senger agent for the Northern Pacific,
will leave tomorrow for St. Paul, Chi
cago and New York on an extended trip
on business for his road. While in St.
Paul he will hold conferences with other
officials on passenger rates and other
matters relating to his department. It
is supposed the hostile legislation aimed
at the railroads by some of the states
will be discussed and the possible cur
tailment of some of the more expensive
trains of the road will be taken up.
There is a sentiment in railroad cir
cles in favor of taking off observation
ears and otherwise reducing the cost of
operating fast transcontinental trains.
The lengthening of schedules is also being
considered by the heads of some of the
roads.
ALASKA RATE IS CANCELED
Handicap Again Placed on Portland
Jobbers by Railroad.
Formal notice of the withdrawal of the
special 10 cent rate from "Portland to Se
attle on Alaskan business was given yes
terday bv the Northern Pacific It will
be discontinued May 1. While Portland
jobbers are now enabled to get into the
Alaskan trade by shipment to Seattle at
the low rate of 10 cents a 100 pounds and
then toy steamer to Alaskan ports, the
canceling of the rate will mean that the
former prohibitive tariff of 30 cents a 100
will be restored. The only profitable way
Portland jobbers can hereafter get into
the Alaskan trade will be by the estab
lishment of a line of steamers from this
port.
The canceling of the low rate by the
railroad was done in order to protect
Portland's trade in Southwestern Wash
ington for, in response to a petition from
the Seattle jobbers, the Washington Rail
road Commission ordered that , the low
rate from Portland to Seattle should also
be allowed to Vancouver. Wash., and com
mon points from Seattle. This meant
an Invasion of Portland's territory and it
was thought best to cancel the low rate
north.

A Voice From
The Stomach
A Bloodless Fight Between a Tablet
and a Habit The Tablet Wins.
At the age of 22. Clarence had goo5
digestion. He had gastric juice that could
dissolve doughnuts and turn apple-skins
into good blood corpuscles.
At the age of 24 he began to be pro
fuse about the waist and lean backwards.
He also began to cultivate several chins.
In his new-found pride he began to think
it his duty to gorge himself on every
thing, the good and the bad, for appe
tite feeds on appetite and every good
thing is abused.
His pictures showed that he took on
weight after he put his collar on.
At the age of 26 Clarence married and
went to boarding. On top of all this,
he attended oyster suppers and wine din
ners, which reduced the size of his col
lar from 16 1-2 to 15. With still abiding
faith in the strength of his stomach he
gulped his meals, and chewed them after
wards. At the age of 28 Clarence began to hear
an inward voice a i warning from the
stomach. After each meal, he would
feel bloated and belching became a habit.
He began to be a 1 light eater and a
heavy thinker. He tried to think out a
cure, for now he would sit down at his
meals absolutely disgusted at the thought
or sight of anything to eat.
He would sit down at his meals with
out the trace of an appetite, just because
it w.as time to eat.
He would often feel a gnawing, unsat
isfied "still-hungry" feeling in his stom
ach, even after he was through eating,
whether his meal was well cooked or
not.
And he suffered a good many other
things with his stomach that he could
not explain, but that made him grouchy,
miserable, out-o'-sorts and generally sour
on everybody and everything.
Finally he read an account, something
like this, about the truly wonderful re-
psults obtained from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets in all cases of stomach trouble,
dyspepsia, and so on. He bought a 50c
box at the drugstore, and took the
whole box. When he started, he had
little faith and less appetite. When he
finished he had absolute faith and more
appetite, and more good cheer. Things
began to taste different and better to
him.
Now he has no more dyspepsia, no
more indigestion, no more loss of appe
tite, brash. Irritation, burning sensation,
heartburn, r.ausea, eructations, bad mem
ory, or loss of vim and vigor.
Remember, one ingredient of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you 30nc
grains of food, just as it did for Clar
ence. This relieves your stomach of the work
of digesting until your stomach can get
strong and healthy again. Your stomach '
has been overworked and abused. Iff
fagged out. It needs a rest.

prised how fine you'll feel after eating,
